From the Tome of Righteous Repose (Inactive)

Eagle Reflex save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Desynthia winces as she witness her eagle being immolated.

You will pay for that.

Her white hair take a deep red hue, and she counter attacks with a duo of Magic missiles, who unfortunatly are weaker than expected

MM: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5

Farzinel walks over the remains of the fallen and prepares to send another glob of acid at the next for he sees.
Move

The magic missiles may not be top of the line, but they do some damage.

Markus snaps out a quick kick, risking the fire in retaliation for the firey assault on his friends.

AoO: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
reflex Save: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11

Does the AoO make the fire damage happen even if it misses?

As the fire burns Markus, he decides that discretion is the better part of valor, and he retreats from the lead singer, seeking cover from the endless fire waves.

Withdraw. Markus HP 3/27

Ahmande moves to another corner, hoping a new vantage point will help his find a target. "Anybody know where that guy is? Blast this cursed smoke! he complains as he circles his story about Dreng to a circumstance when the venture-captain overcame annoying battlefield control spells.

Is it possible to Charge even with this smoke?

@Markus, no fire damage is only if you hit.

@Bobbie, yes, you have a charge path directly to the east.

Trying to locate the orc leader in the smoke Erica takes a step back, before charging blindly where she thinks the enemy stands.

Farizel stinge the orc with acid, before Bobbie braves the smoke, emerging like an opera hero and striking true on the last orc standing.

Waiting on the AoO before continuing, as a lot hinges on it.

Erica tries to finish off the orc while she can!

Had to edit, forgot the +2 divine courage bonus to damage

Oh thank the gods... Be sure to check out the other spoiler to see what would have happened if you had done a few less damage.

The unconscious leader lays on the floor, her allies well dead. The smoke slowly begins to clear, after a minute the air is clear again...

wow we got LUCKY

Markus staggers around the corner holding up his wand of healing, ouch, can anyone help ?

Taking some time to loot the bodies, the party discovers:

javelins (12)

653 gp

So, what are you doing with the leader? She does not appear to be bleeding out.

Sorry, Can't read the scrolls right now, I don't have the relevant cantrip memorized. You can giggle as you want. These two potions are of Barkskin, to protect your body from attack. The make up is some warpaint, to scare your opponents. I know the armor is magical but can't assess its properties. The cloak is a cloak of resistance, to boost your luck in dangerous situations. The chain shirt seems beautifully crafted, probably of very good quality. I'm no expert on armors, perhaps Bobbie? This cestus is beautifully balanced. As for the rest, I have no idea.

She pauses.

Now, who needs healing?I have a wand that might help.That was a very tough fight.

Sometimes, Iomedae is with you! ;)

Exhausted, badly burned and out of breath, Erica takes a few moments to rest. She knows that she got lucky to run the spellcaster through before she could finish her incantation and mutters a barely audible prayer to Iomedae to thank her for guiding her sword true.

Perception (Deux identical Potions) : 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Appraise (chain mail), Untrained: 1d20 ⇒ 7
Appraise (scimitars), Untrained: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Appraise (drums), Untrained: 1d20 ⇒ 2

She shakes her head when Desynthia asks for her input. "They look regular to me." She looks at the scimitars and chain mail approvingly. "They're very well made, though."

"I might need some healing."

Should we restrain her? She's not bleeding.... Markus looms over the fallen orc before doing just that, and putting a sack over her head for good measure. He slumps against the wall, looking around the chamber. Yes, Des I think many of us could use some healing at this point, ouch, everything hurts...

The sack begins to smolder from the heat still rising from her body.

To speed this along, you may choose to take average healing from wands, potions and scrolls of healing. You may roll if you prefer.

There are other ways to decipher the scrolls

Nothing will interrupt you while you heal. I will assume everyone ends up at full and move forward tonight.

Farzinel casts read magic. "A pair of scrolls of glitterdust and a scroll of cat's grace," he concludes.

Markus will take average healing from his wand. So he's expending 5 charges and getting back to full HP

Ahmande fills in some of the gaps left after Desynthia studies the loot, but he can't figure it all out. He offers to help heal anyone who needs it with the wands they just found. Let's use the clw wands from the loot. Ahmande can cast for anyone; roll your own results.

There ya go. Markus'll take 5 from the found wand and save his own for now!

As you finish patching up, identifying what items you can, and thanking your deities, you hear voices coming from the southwest. Farzinel recognizes the language as orcish. He can't make out any words, but there is a burst of laughter as the voices near.

"I'd take that healing, if you can make the wand work. Thanks, Ahmande."

Cure Light Wounds (Ahmande): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Cure Light Wounds (Ahmande): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

The fighter's wounds close up, though that burning spell left some pretty impressive scars on both of her forearms.

She tenses up as voices and laughter is heard.

"Oh, hells," she mutters.

As quietly as she can, she lifts up her sword and shield, and gets near the door, gesturing Markus to leave a clear line between her and the corridor.

Readied Action: Charge the first orc that comes into view.

The voices grow louder, there are two of them, both male. Farinzel can understand them as they approach.

"By Gorum, this place reeks of smoke. Boss must have been playing again."

Another replies, "Yeah well, she'd burn you alive if you gave her any sass. She's brutal."

We have not entered initiative yet. Does anyone else want to try anything before we do?

How long since we entered the underground? Just to know if I have to renew my Mage Armor spell (4 hours duration)

The voices grow louder, there are two of them, both male. Farinzel can understand them as they approach.

"By Gorum, this place reeks of smoke. Boss must have been playing again."

Another replies, "Yeah well, she'd burn you alive if you gave her any sass. She's brutal."

"Voices ahead. Deep ones," warns Farzinel, keeping his voice to a whisper. "Two as far as I can tell and one referenced 'Gorum' and a 'boss', suggesting that we may soon encounter more orcs."

"Perhaps, we should meet them in the hallway rather than allow ourselves to risk being cornered in this room," he suggests. "Though, I will follow you."

The wizard loosens his robe and prepares for more casing if a foe should suddenly appear.

How long since we entered the underground? Just to know if I have to renew my Mage Armor spell (4 hours duration)

It's only been about an hour.

An orc rounds the corner, and you can hear another behind him. He is, to say the least, surprised to see you. His surprise only grows as a blob of acid strikes his shoulder!

Even with cover, that's a solid hit.

Desynthia

Right now, Bobbie's charge lane is blocked, so I'll hold off to see if Markus moves.

As a reminder, you only get a move or a standard in the surprise round

Markus steps offline, opening Bobbies charge lane, and toward the incoming orcs, Morning boys, here for another round? he asks, not really expecting an answer.

[ooc]on mobile, can someone clear me from charge path and move me closer?[/b]

The first orc to go past the door takes a not quite rested but very angry fighter to the face.

CHAAARGE (Power Attack): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10

I don't think the Divine Inspiration bonuses apply anymore?

Since there's no way for Markus to both clear the charge lane and move closer without acrobatics-ing through the orc, I'm going to make a roll for him. The orcs are flat footed so no AoO regardless.

Markus Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Not enough.

Markus can't get through the first orc, but manages to pull back out of Bobbie's way. Bobbie charges the shocked orc, only to have her blow bounce off his chain shirt.

Desynthia prepares a quick spell for the orc Bobbie didn't charge, hoping to buy time for the fighter.

She keeps her healing wand at hand, just in case

Readies Daze (1 action) at the end of the round, DC 14 Will save or won't act for 1 round (unless orc has 4HD or more)

Desynthia's spell fails, as the orc is too powerful for it.

Botting Ahmande

Ahmande begins a bardic performance.

With only a narrow gap through which to peer his foe, Farzinel tries to send a glob of acid through it.

Ranged touch (acid splash) v Orc #1 w/IC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 17
Damage (acid) w/IC: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Not missing a beat, Erica slashes at the stunned orc before it can counterattack.

Power Attack (Divine Courage): 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 - 1 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 13

Sorry; thanks for the bot! IC was the perfect choice.

Farinzel's shot goes wide, but Bobbie is able to catch the suprised orc with a solid cut.

The orc draws his short sword and tries to return the favor to Bobbie. His stab is so far off target it's almost comical.

He steps to the side, gaining cover from the corner of the wall.

He speaks, in Common, Come at me bro-" He stops, confused and at a loss for words. "Oh just come at me!"

Ahmande is up.

Ahmande follows Bobby to the doorway as he continues to rally the Pathfinders with references to past Pathfinder glory. Looking at the orc without a deep Bobby-gash in its chest, Ahmande tries to magically enforce restraint. "Hold it right there; he's first," he says with an over-the-shoulder motion towards the bloody colleague, never breaking eye contact with the orc he's trying to bind. "We're going to do this one at a time, so please," Ahmande concludes, palm out: "wait your turn."

The orc turns to look at Ahmande, then freezes in place.

A moment later, he attempts to shake it off...

But cannot.

Markus rolls forward, attempting to land in between the two orcs, Hang on Bobbie, I'm coming up on the left! risking the orcs attack the dwarf presses in, punching at the orc not impeded by Arhimane's spell.

Punch, Hatred, Stunning Fist, IC: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 13
Damage?: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

"He speaks, in Common, Come at me bro-" He stops, confused and at a loss for words. "Oh just come at me!"

Erica stares.

Then shrugs.

"A'right."

Power Attack (IC): 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 - 1 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 14

Crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Not sure IC still applies, but feel free to add +2 to both rolls if it does.

EDIT: Yeah, nevermind about IC. I think the poor bugger's dead.

Retrospectively, perhaps telling the fighter "Come at me!" wasn't the best strategic move.

While Markus is unable to connect, from around the corner, Bobbie stabs deep into the orc.

For a moment, it looks like sheer rage will keep him on his feet, but even it is not enough. He slumps to the floor, dead.

"Well, now, to continue seems hardly sporting," Farzinel notes, spying one orc dead and the other presently paralyzed.
Delaying

"Yeah, it doesn't." Erica wipes her sword clean of orc blood, before turning to the last standing enemy.

"Here's the deal. Because we are in an excellent mood, we are going to tie you up, and ask a few questions," she states matter-of-factly. "In return, you won't even think of struggling or screaming for help in any way. Otherwise, we stab you. Understood?"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Grapple: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

3 will saves: 3d20 ⇒ (20, 20, 20) = 60

I'm leaving those rolls public, because they're amazing.

Desynthia on delay

Bobbie grapples the frozen orc, only to have it recover!

Full round action to shake off the Hold. @Bobbie, please roll one more grapple, if you pin the orc, I'll call the fight.

That's one determined orc!

Taken aback by the orc's sudden recovery, Erica does her best to physically overpower and immobilize him.

Grapple: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 Not too shoddy a roll here either, Iomedae be thanked!

Great.

You now have two captive orcs, one conscious, one not. Also remember, the boss's skin is burning hot.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Desynthia tries to plead with their captive

Now calm down and cooperate. If we really wanted to kill you, orc, you would already have relinquished your soul. If you agree to tell us everything you know, truthfully, about the place, we can simply bind and gag you, and release you on our way out. The less blood we spill, the better I'll feel.

Specially if it's MY blood we're talking about.

The orc looks at you, looks at his dead allies, and his unconscious boss.

"Fine," he nods at his leader, "Just don't kill her. At least not anywhere near me. She always said if she died, she'd become a pillar of fire in retribution against her killer. Now, what do you want anyway?"

The orc appears quite sincere, and just hoping to get out alive. The part about his boss is particularly strong. However, Ahmande senses he may have a lot of information to bargain with.
